What a wonderfully racist and ignorant thing to say.

Instead of asking him to clarify, just call it 'racist' - yes, I'm sure the race of Islam takes great exception to the comment.

My first wife is from Birmingham, not sure if this fact helps the discussion but I thought I'd mention it anyway.

It would only help the discussion if you mentioned whether she was Muslim!

He didn't say Islam, though - he said Islamabad which is a city in Pakistan. It doesn't take much of a leap to know exactly what he bloody meant.

Okay, she isn't a Muslim, does that help?

Never knew contract market existed in Islamabad. Or were you there on a vacation?

When driving in Islamabad I always lock my doors and keep my windows closed. I do the same in certain areas of Birmingham
